Coos County Transportation Providers

Umpqua Public Transportation District (UPTD) operates fixed-route, paratransit, commuter route, and demand-response Dial-A-Ride services for approximately 110,000 residents in Douglas County.

UPTD’s service area covers the entire county, encompassing 5,036 square miles of rugged, forested mountains and rivers that extend more than 110 miles from Crater Lake National Park to the Pacific Ocean and more than 70 miles of the I-5 corridor between Lane and Josephine counties.

UPTD is the sole transit system providing critical connections for the county's most vulnerable residents to access work, education, basic needs, medical care, and day-to-day shopping. Riders come from small rural communities with as few as 200 residents to the county seat of Roseburg, with a population of approximately 25,000. Many county residents live near the I-5 corridor. Around 70 percent of residents live within two miles of a UPTD bus stop.

Hourly fixed route bus service is provided along a 23-mile corridor spanning Roseburg, Sutherlin, and Winston between 6 am and 8 pm, Monday through Friday.

Complimentary paratransit services for eligible riders are available within three-quarters of an air mile of fixed route service during the same business hours of 6 am to 8 pm.

Saturday service, both fixed route and paratransit, is only provided in Roseburg.

Commuter service is provided from Roseburg to Winston, Dillard, Myrtle Creek, Tri-City, Riddle, and Canyonville between 4:50 am and 8 pm, with a total of seven 100-mile round trips daily.

Demand-response Dial-A-Ride services are provided for older adults and people with disabilities in rural areas on a space-available basis for local rides and to bridge the gap to get riders to bus stops for trips outside of the community. Same-day rides are scheduled on a space available basis, giving priority to older adults and people with disabilities.

Why UPTD service is so vital

After implementing a Free Ride Friday promotion, a woman named Lois called the transit manager to say:

“The $8 I saved in my paratransit fare when I go grocery shopping is enough to buy the chicken meal deal at Fred Meyer. This is my dinner for four days.”

That convinced UPTD to lower its fares.


Residents of Winston and Dillard expressed elation with added service. Marcus said:

“Thanks for adding the new times. We were able to catch a bus in town in the am and return home by noon. Just amazing.


“We met friends today who, like us, took the bus to enjoy a walk at Ford’s Pond in Sutherlin.”
